Get the Grrl mug.Short for "pre-nuptial". It is a document that you get BEFORE marriage. It exists for the purpose of protecting you in case of divorce.
It is for this reason that only fools don't get a pre-nup. Pre-nups are created to protect major assets such as a house or anything that gives you a lot of money. Pre-nups make it so that your wife doesn't take everything from you, including your testicles, in the event of a divorce (and with a 60%+ divorce rate, that's a pretty likely event).
Unfortunately, there are many courts who just throws out the pre-nups. Usually for any reasons too. They might throw it out because your kids are staying with the wife (and trust me, they will be awarded to her) or because you're successful or just because she's a lazy bitch who refuses to find a job. And if the court doesn't do it for the previous reasons, she can just make a false claim of abuse or just a fear of it. After all, they won't question her on it.
While pre-nups do get thrown out a lot, many courts also respect it. So just get the damn pre-nup. What do you have to lose? Besides protecting you, it will also reveal a lot about your wife if she refuses to sign it. If you're one of the fools who think your wife-to-be would just want a quiet divorce, then I hope you're not bitter when you takes you for everything you worked for your whole life.

It's funny, but a few decades ago, pre-nuptials were made to protect women against men in case of divorce.
It's ironic that men are the ones who want a pre-nup the most now.

Get the pre-nup mug.Al Capone or Alphonse Capone is undoubtedly the most famous gangster in the world.
However, he is in NO way, shape, or form the most powerful who ever live. Most people believe he is the most powerful just because he is the most famous. Actually, there were many more gangsters who were more powerful than he was.
Also, he was not the most influential. Most sources believe Lucky Luciano is the most influential gangster who ever lived.
There are so many misconceptions running around Al Capone mainly, once again, because he is simply the most famous. If one were to take into account every gangster who ever lived and rank them according to power and influence, then Capone would rank very high, but he would be nowhere near the top. One's best bet on getting proper information about Al Capone is to read it from Wikipedia or CrimeLibrary.

Get the Al Capone mug.The downloading or copying one a copyrighted item. Piracy is achieved through the use of P2P programs, such as Kazaa, Direct Connect, WinMX, BitTorrent, or etc. However, there are a few websites that legitimately offers pirated items.
Through piracy, everything short of nourishment and clothing can be achieved. You can pirate books, music, video games, movies, or software. However, there are a series of argument pertaining to piracy. Such arguments are:
1) Industries - Those bastards are stealing money from us. If we could stop piracy, prices would go down enormously and there would be more jobs due to more demand!
2) Pirates - If we couldn't pirate, we wouldn't buy your overpriced crap anyway! Who the hell is gonna pay $600+ for Photoshop or $200+ for new Windows OS? And "there will be more jobs", my ass! You'll most likely outsource jobs to India for more profit!
3) Litigious Jerk Offs - We'll have those pirating bastards on their knees in no time, but first, we have to find out the age of those we sue! Those goddamn idiotic American people gets all giddy eye every time we sue a little boy for downloading 50 Cent. If we don't, he's going to grow up to be a serial killer!
Basically, the argument boils down to the industries wanting more profit, pirates wanting to spend less, and litigious jerk offs wanting to make more money by suing everyone. So far, the industries are still making enormous profit because the vast majority of people don't know how to pirate. The pirates are still pirating because piracy is virtually impossible to stop. And the jerk offs had been blasted for suing several wrong people, but they managed to scare a lot of people off of Kazaa.

Get the Piracy mug.Nintendo's newest console and the successor to the Nintendo 64. While it is superior to the N64 in many ways:
1)Mini-Disc format - Much more space than cartridges without sarcrificing loading time
2)Graphics card - The ATi card is AWESOME!
I had found it lacking in the game department when compared to its predecessor. I had absolutely loved Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time for the N64, but Super Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker left a bitter taste in my mouth. The only games on the GameCube which I truly love is Super Monkey Ball and Super Smash Brothers Melee.
For performance, the GCN is excellent, but I find it lacking in the games department.

What the hell happened, Nintendo? What happened to your winning Super Mario and Zelda streak? Why in the hell did you sell Rare? WHY?

Get the Game cube mug.A program used to imitate another device. The most famous types are console/handheld emulators.
Emulators are often used to play games that are no longer in product, but nowadays, they are also emulating brand new systems. Examples are XBox, PS2, and GameCube emulators. While none works yet, all are beginning to play commercial games well while some other commercial games are played well already. However, the Gameboy Advance emulator came out BEFORE the actual handheld did and it emulated it excellently.
The biggest problems with emulator is speed and compatibility. Emulators need PC much more powerful than the actual system it's emulating in order to run at full speed. Also, some emulators tend to sacrifice compatibility for speed or vice versa.
Some notable things about emulators is that you need ROMs to use it. However, ROMs are completely illegal. The rumor that you can own a ROM if you own the original is false.

Get the Emulator mug.Arnold Schwazenegger is....half man, half governor.
He proves to be an unbeatable candidate. How does he prove this? By blasting the liberal left and get away with it! Even George W. Bush wouldn't be able to do that!
Only one man can make a remark that offends homosexuals and get away with it...
Only one man can have a history of sexual harassment and have women at his rallies holding up signs that says 'you can harass me any day!'...
Only one man can motivate people to vote in something other than the presidential election...
The Governator!
